Advanced Warning System (Beta Version)

Advanced Warning System


IF YOU ARE RUNNING vB 3.6, THERE IS A NEW THREAD FOR THIS HACK UNDER THAT VERSION. vB 3.6 USERS GO HERE:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124477


This is a direct port of the Advanced Warning System, as it was implemented in vB 3.0.x. This port has all the features of AWS version 3.4.16, except the Notes.

For a complete description of AWS capabilities, please refer to the following thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=574374

The vB 3.5 compliant version of AWS includes:

1 Product XML (17 Plugins, 107 Phrases, 26 Templates, 43 Settings)
1 ACP Navigation XML
1 PHP Functions File
3 Images
2 PHP Frontend Files
1 PHP Admin CP File
1 PHP Mod CP File
3 PHP Cronjob Files

This port would not be possible, without the help of KirbyDE, to whom I am greatful. KirbyDE will also be responsible for supporting you here, with questions related to this particular release. Also, this port would not have been possible, without the help of Juan P hernandez, who offered me a free test system, in which the porting was performed.

The hack has been tested and it is believed to be bug-free, however since this is a major hack, I release it today (September 9th 2005) as beta.

I hope you all enjoy it.

A bug was found which didn't allow you to delete an entered Warning Type. Bug fixed in the current distribution file.

If you found a Bug, please report it at http://bugs.kirbydemos.ath.cx

This helps to keep issues organized, which can't be guaranteed if it's only posted in the Thread.
Thank you.

P.S.1: After you install the hack per the instructions, please update your installation with the separate files listed. They are newer files not included in the zip.

P.S.2: If you want to use the Notes feature, as it existed in AWS 3.4.16, please install AWS per the instructions in the zip file, and THEN follow the instructions included in the warn_notes_update_instructions.txt.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please keep in mind that this hack is not supported. What this means is that I have no obligation to support it. The reason for that, is because I have no access to a vB 3.5 system any more, so I can't work on this hack any more. Andreas (or KirbyDE) who undertook the support of this version of the AWS hack in the beginning, is obviously too busy to support it. So you are on your own, at least as far as the interaction with vB is concerned. If you have an issue with the hack files themselves, I'll do my best to solve it, but without a test environment, it is not easy. So users of vB 3.5 beware!

P.S. May 31st 2006: The zip file uploaded today, should contain all the debugging done by Delphi, so it should be fine as it is. You do not need the other files listed at the right, only the zip. Download it and follow the instructions in it, for installing the hack. I leave the other files there, just in case some one needs them, they will be deleted later.

2)you have to edit BOTH templates postbit and postbit_legacy (instructions are in readme.txt .... they are there)

Good point on adding Delphi as a supporter, co-author. I added him, he fully deserves it.

john my test site is still up for you dude, maybe if you wanna take his zip he made and install it there and go through it and test everything out yourself you can start learning how this scripting for 3.5 is done and get the ideas and maybe fix your hack up yourself also.

the test board is there for you guys i want you guys to use it

GoTTi, I won't be able to do anything on this, until Tuesday, today and tomorrow the animals (ah,.... sorry, the twins) are at home, so it's impossible to do anything. I'll try to work on this and do some tests Tuesday.

thank you John found any mistakes i "may" have made yet ? :banana:

oooh and firefox doesn't like they way i phrased the warnings button option that browser shows always two buttons on top of eachother

I notice when I use the newer version of Warn.php and try to warn a user. It comes up telling me this post was already warned. Even though that isn't true.

This post has received other warnings.

What could be the Problem, if the Selection Box is empty if i want to do a non-post related Warning ?

Warning Selection: Choose a warning

(not post-related)

Everything else is working, and i hav several Warning types.

PROBLEMS FOUND:
- forum/admincp/admin_warn.php - enter a username, and view warnings. the links on some <a href> are wrong, and have either '/' on the start, or missing the variable for the adminCP directory.
- /forum/admincp/admin_warn.php?act=viewlogs&script=&perpage=50&ord erby=w.warned_time%20DESC&page =2 - choose to view logs. now choose to sort warning types. nothing happens. i also tried going to next page, and it doesn't go anywhere - simply showing what looks to be like the first page still.

Also, i think we should be able to use a warning or alert for posts and non posts.
i don't think i should have to make all 25 different warning types again, for non posts. (even though only 3-8 of them would only affect non post related warnings).

Also, i would like to delete all warnings given to people for a certain warning type. (we have a 'sig too big', people were warnings instead of issuing alerts. and now i want to remove all the warnings people have gotton, instead of leaving them on their account.)
SO: i would like to prune warnings, also with the option by type, and by date (more than 30 days ago).

Thanks mate - good work so far.
